Every Job is Temporary

29/7/2015

I think all of us already know that the old days of company loyalty and job security is outdated. However, many of us still get a shock or surprise when we come to a realisation that our job is at risk because of company re-organisation or perhaps we just don't get along with our boss.

If we approach every job thinking its temporary, and not a given long term right, a few (positive) things happen

  • We start to enjoy our job. Ironically, because the pressure and concerns about keeping the job is lifted, we begin to see positives in our situation and our interaction with our colleagues and bosses become less weighted with "what will he think of me?" concerns. This many a time can even lead to performance improvements in our work too
  • Our minds are open to new possibilities.  Instead of feeling handcuffed, we begin to see new growth opportunities in areas which we may have previously missed. We become more receptive to new ideas and new directions, and many a time, this can lead to our own "Ah-Ha" moment
  • We prepare ourselves for the next step. In being open, we begin to become more aware of the need to be prepared. We begin to explore and be curious - and this can often lead to good outcomes.
  • Our family and friends find us better company. No longer weighed down by concerns about your job, you become a better parent, sibling and friend. You find yourself becoming more of a giver than a taker. 
  • We become more responsible. In recognising we are in charge of our career and not the company, we take up this responsibilty to develop ourselves. We begin to take charge and take pride in what we do. And often, we become bolder and braver too.
If the worst case situation does happen to you, having this mindset that you (and not your company) is responsible for your own career, gives you strength and clears you for the road ahead
